All of our products are designed to complement each other. We consider it our contribution to provide smooth and rapid workflows to support you in your daily routine in the best possible way, enabling optimized results. Read more about the advantages of a well coordinated identification workflow.

MBT Biotarget 96

The MBT Biotarget with 96 sample positions is a disposable MALDI target plate saving labor and time in the microbiology laboratory.

No cleaning protocols are required. This can simplify and speed up workflows because validation and documentation of the MALDI target cleaning process, necessary for reusable steel targets, is superfluous. Training of lab staff on cleaning of reusable steel targets, is no longer required. Productivity is improved, as it is no longer necessary to invest time in the cleaning of reusable targets.

The MBT Biotarget 96 is robust enough to be spotted in remote satellite laboratories and transported to the central MALDI Biotyper for analysis. Stock management administration can also be reduced because there is no need anymore to return reusable steel targets to the satellite laboratory.

The AnchorChip™ effect, using a hydrophobic surface coating surrounding the hydrophilic sample positions, concentrates liquid samples into the spot area which facilitates application of liquids such as the IVD Bacterial Test Standard and IVD matrix, and workflows using liquid sample preparation like MBT Sepsityper.

MBT Pilot for guided stress-free sample transfer

Using MBT Pilot in the set-up of identification projects prevents sample mix-up and increases productivity. Ergonomic, with an optimized hand rest, and the projection of additional information, like help text directly above the MALDI target plate, are further features that ease daily sample preparation.

The workstation is linked to MBT Compass IVD software or the MBT Compass IVD Satellite Module enabling a fully traceable and paperless process.

MBT Galaxy for automated application of matrix and formic acid

The MBT Galaxy frees laboratory personnel from cumbersome pipetting while ensuring the highest preparation quality under controlled conditions and complete traceability in a paperless workflow.

Seamless integration with the MALDI Biotyper IVD system coupled with on-board barcode reading ensures that MALDI target plates are matched to their corresponding projects so that every sample is correctly prepared. After insertion of the target, the preparation is automatically performed by the MBT Galaxy system, allowing staff to carry out other work during system operation.

But there are more advantages. Contact free pipetting eliminates any carry-over risk. The system operates without pipette tips, significantly reducing the environmental burden and consumable costs. The identification process is more standardized because pipetting performance is independent from individual skills.
